Brading is everywhere. Daniel Chidoti's sister (Daniel is foreman to Masvingo) works as a braider in Botswana and can come home only now and again because she's in such demand.

This braid has a lovely delicate look to it, but is much sturdier than the three strand

who knew that taking a picture of the back of your own head could be so difficult?

Using braiding and finger weaving this is a simple sling styled after the peruvian slings of the Andes.

Her's is much prettier than mine - especially since mine split open at the seams during baking - but it still tasted delicious! Thanks Smitten Kitchen!

Part of the joy of my garlic harvest each year, after they have been cleaned, is the braiding. It is a beautiful and very effective way to store the garlic which hung in a cool place out of sun light can be used typically for up to a year.

The girl was very excited to get her whole head braided. After a quick toe dip in the water at Princess Cays, we went straight to the braid lady to get her hair done. Next step - get some vitamin D!

one of my first attempts at learning to French braid.

Isabelle got a section of her hair braided at one of the vendors.

Braids are all the rage!

It is called a braided river because the water channels shift and overlap each other.

Three strands of sterling chain {some oxidized black, some shiny } braided together and finished with faceted nuggets of Pyrite. Gifted to a dear friend for her berfday.

She's picky even with her hairstyle. I originally looped this braids and she did not like it...this is how she wanted them instead. Another SOOC.

That's what you call the 'bumps' on my hair. Doing this on wet hair, makes your hair wavy. The waves last a few days. Growing up (and amongst my family) - I called them "chiney bumps".

Braids still in

This week's theme was Stranded. One of the defintions for Strand was :

"one of a number of fibers, threads, or yarns that are plaited or twisted together to form a rope, cord, or the like"

So I just braided one strand of hair.

I (kind of) broke my kit lens and I could only manual focus...but I am starting to feel more like a photographer though :)

Now that I look at this photo I realize I am in such an awkward pose....
